Ronaldo passed fit to lead Real Madrid's Mission Impossible
Posted Tuesday, April 30, 2013 by The Sun
CRISTIANO RONALDO leads Real Madrid on Mission Impossible here at the Bernabeu tonight.
The Portuguese superstar has recovered from a thigh injury and is the one hope Madrid have of overcoming a 4-1 first-leg deficit against Borussia Dortmund.
Ronaldo has scored 51 goals in 54 games this season and team-mate Sami Khedira said: “We need him and his goals more than ever.”
Ronaldo is the Champions League top scorer with 12 in 11 games — two more than Robert Lewandowski, who stunned Madrid with all four goals in the first leg.
Real boss Jose Mourinho said it was not impossible to turn the tie around.
He said: “History says it is achievable but we’ll have to be at our very best.
“If we play like we did in Dortmund, we don’t have a chance.
“If we perform the way we have in many games in the past and show the spirit I know we have then we can do it.”
